Elizabeth Fry used her influence to visit female prisoners in London’s Newgate Prison. She set up classes to give women job skills, rallied others to provide clothing, and, at the center of her plan, leading women in studying the Bible. Until her death at age 65, Fry worked tirelessly for prison reform—fundamentally changing how women prisoners were viewed and treated. | Museum of the Bible
